Prosecution:

• Gil Garcetti, the DA. I'm sure he wishes now that he had never been associated with the case.
• Marcia Clark
• Christopher Darden (was once a friend of Johnnie Cochran)
• Brian "let me demonstrate that" Kellberg. Nine days direct examination of Dr. Lakshmanan.
• George "Woody" Clarke (from San Diego) Worked on DNA. No relation to Marcia Clark!
• Rock Harmon (from Alameda D. A.)
• Lydia Bodin
• David Wooden
• Hank Goldberg
• Cheri Lewis (NOTE: This is not the same person as Shari Lewis who associates with Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, and Charley Horse).
• Scott Gordon
• William Hodgeman (had a heart attack)
• Alan Yochelson
• Darrell Mavis
• Kenneth Lynch
• Lisa Kahn (had a baby). She argued California's first DNA case.
• David Conn. He was involved only in the early stages, handling the grand jury questioning along with Marcia Clark. Conn went on to be the lead prosecutor in the Menendez Brothers Trial, Part II.
• Daniel Petrocelli, lawyers for Brown and Goldman families in the civil trial.
• Peter Gelblum, lawyer for Brown and Goldman families in the civil trial.
• Gloria Allred, lawyer for Brown family. Prominent feminist. Divorced 4 times, which is a lot even for California.
• Ms. Coleman, from the DA's office, who told Marcia Clark not to put Fuhrman on the stand.

Defense:

• Johnnie Cochran (the smoothie)
• Robert Shapiro (mute for months)
• F. Lee Bailey (cross-examined Fuhrman)
• Alan Dershowitz (the rumor in legal circles is that he was hired so he couldn't be a kibitzer from the outside.)
• Carl Douglas
• Peter Neufeld (interrogated Dr. Robin Cotton at great length about DNA)
• William C. Thompson. DNA specialist, colleague of Scheck and Neufeld.
• Robert Blazier
• Karen Filipi. Worked in Shapiro's office, was listed in questionaire submitted to jurors.
• Barry Scheck
• Gerald Uelman
• Sara L. Caplan from Shapiro's office.
• Kenneth Spaulding (North Carolina lawyer: added to get McKinney tapes subpoenaed)
• Shawn Chapman (from Cochran's office)
• Robert "what luggage?" Kardashian
• Howard Weitzman (quit after 36 hours!) He was OJ's attorney in the 1989 beating incident.
• Robert Craig Baker - OJ lawyer in civil suit brought by Brown family and Fred Goldman.
• Philip Baker - member of OJ's civil defense team, son of Bob Baker.
• Mr. Mounger - Fuhrman's criminal defense attorney.
• Skip Taft. Included for completeness, although not a trial lawyer. He handled OJ's financial planning.

Other lawyers

Maya Hamburger, representing Marguerite Simpson Thomas. That's her real name! Now if Maya Hamburger married Felix Frankfurter (former Supreme Court justice), her name would be Maya Hamburger Frankfurter. Before some irate reader sends an email with the nit-picking objection that such a thing is impossible, because Frankfurter is DEAD, let me quickly point something out: In California, minor obstacles like this do not impede a celebrity marriage. For example, it wouldn't stop Anna Nicole Smith.

Robert Tourtelot, one of Mark Fuhrman's lawyers.

Daniel Petrocelli, lawyer for the Brown and Goldman families in the civil case.

This page is still under construction because we may not have found all the lawyers. However, we have found quite a few of them. Thanks to Judy M., self-confessed trial addict, for providing five names. Thanks also to M. L. R. for providing nine (!!) names! Thanks also to Mike Fairbanks.
